Notice of Shopify Inc.'s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and Notice of Availability of Meeting Materials NOTICE AND ACCESS
This year, as permitted by Canadian securities regulators, we are using "Notice and Access" to deliver our management information circular (the "Circular") for our Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") to both our registered and beneficial (non-registered) shareholders. We are also using "Notice and Access" to deliver our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("Financial Statements") to registered and beneficial shareholders.
This means that instead of receiving a paper copy of the Circular, you are receiving this notice, which provides information on how to access the Circular and the Financial Statements online. You will also find below information on how to request paper copies of the Circular and the Financial Statements, if you prefer.
Notice and Access allows us to reduce our printing and mailing costs and is consistent with our sustainability strategy.
